I'm lucky enough to have nearly an acre of yard so I have space to be a bit extravagant but I certainly don't have space for this stunning feature. I'd love to recreate something like this but it would have to be on a smaller scale

If unrestricted what would you really like to feature in your garden?

Wow. That is truly something. Not sure how much work would be involved but I reckon I'ld need to employ some full time gardeners.
My dream has always to build a conservatory with a sculptured water feature.
I have a creek I can enlist for the water when it starts flowing :( and I have put in the foundations for the conservatory 20 years ago.:rolleyes:

Suzjbibby, this picture is stunning, it's so gorgeous, it's the most beautiful!:D
My dream garden would be rather simple and very romantic. I want many tall, old trees, lots and lots of roses and I want it to be messy and vivid.
I love this:

These roses look really pretty too:

I just want some place to call my garden. LOL I am tired of living in this apartment .. with these little balcony gardens. I have already planted my trees in this piece of land we have bought and it seems to be coming up well. I want a little house with a bright and colorful garden.. a mix of flowers and vegetables. :)

Oh I do like that rose arbour, I would love a garden like that, you are drawn to go down the path to see what is just out of sight
Jed I know what it's like trying to get started with projects, but i like the idea of your water feature, and can simpathise on the vagaries of water supply, the Munmurra river flows past my back boundary but unfortunately it is little more than a trickle most of the time

You know what else I would love to have in my dream garden? Jacarandas - a lot of them:D . It find them the most beautiful, the color of their flowers is stunning. They're really magical trees:D

If money and space were no problem, I would like a bamboo water element called a deer chaser.

And of course a koi pond, stone lantern and Japanese footbridge.

ACSAPA, Japanese gardens are very pretty, they're always so detailed and tidy.

I think this looks amazing, I'd love to have roses growing like this in my dream garden:

I'd also like a sea of violet tulips:

Wow, Claudine. That pathway of roses is gorgeous and very romantic looking.
The jacaranda trees are stunning. Purple is my favorite color so I like your choice of the violet tulips. These are very classic and feminine choices for garden features. This style is totally you.

Oh yes, I'd love to have a very feminine garden. My boyfriend would probably prefer something more manly so we might have a little conflict here:p
This is so beautiful:

I'd also love to have a bridge like this:

Or like this, it looks magical:

Claudine i love the roses and that pretty wall - and yes my dream garden would be very pretty and femine I'm afraid. I'd love a wooden bridge over a koi pond ACSAPA but mine would have huge water lily pads in it

I just found this enchanting picture, wouldn't it be lovely to have something like this?

It's so creative and unique, it must be really relaxing to sit there:)

Oh, and I'd love, love, love to have a hammock like this in my garden:

I agree that there's something romantic and calming about outdoor beds.
Check out these beds, I wouldn't mind relaxing in any of these. There's even a bed by a pool.

ACSAPA, the hammock in the first picture you posted is perfect. It must be so wonderful and relaxing to lie there and listen to singing birds.
I want a hammock now!:D
This one is pretty:
